今以佛眼觀之佛與眾生同住解脫之床。無此無彼無二平等。Now, observing with the eye of the Buddha, both the Buddha and ordinary beings are in the same liberated state. There is neither this nor that: there is only non-duality and identity.- 空海 Kūkai in Unjigi 吽字義 The Meaning of the Letter Hūṃ - Kūkai on the Philosophy of Language by Takagi Shingen and Dreitlein Eijō_______Śrī Singha said to Padmasambhava:Since buddhas and sentient beings are inseparable and the same, it is necessary to respect all sentient beings as being on the same level with the buddhas. Can you? - translated by Malcolm N. Smith
